Hi,

the weekly local paper is 'The Ludlow Advertiser' and I think this would have existed in the 1950s.
Ludlow library website says that they have local papers on microfilm (they don't mention which titles).

The evening paper which covers Shropshire is the Shropshire Star (again I presume that existed in the 1950s).

Sorry I don't have any definite answers, but hth,
